According to Junction City Main Street community members, local leaders, and stakeholders recently gathered for a Design Workshop focused on the future of the Grant Avenue Corridor, one of Junction City's key redevelopment priorities.
The workshop provided attendees with the opportunity to learn about the project, review the results of a prior visioning workshop, and give input on the draft design concept for the corridor. Planning consultants helped guide the discussion and presented early design ideas shaped by public feedback.
The Grant Avenue Corridor has been identified as a high-priority redevelopment area in city planning documents and through the EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant program. This federal initiative supports community revitalization by funding environmental assessments, cleanup efforts, and redevelopment planning for impacted sites.
The project has been made possible through the support and leadership of the Flint Hills Regional Council, which continues to collaborate with Junction City Main Street, the City of Junction City and local stakeholders to reimagine the corridor.
The input gathered during the workshop will play a key role in refining the final design and guiding the next steps in the revitalization process.
For those who were unable to attend the design workshop or related events, the presentation materials and storyboards are available for viewing online. Please visit the following link to explore the concepts and provide additional feedback:
